Rhondda and I are so excited to host the Washcloth of the Month CAL in 2024. We will each have a new free washcloth pattern on our blogs each month, for 12 months! Plus, we will have 11 amazing designers that will be joining us this year. If you want to know more about the Washcloth of the Month CAL, including the schedule, please visit this intro post.
We will also be offering a free PDF version of our patterns for 24 hours! Make sure to stop by each blog and look for the coupon code or sale link.
If you would like to share your progress, please feel free to add your Ravelry Project Pages for each of the washcloths that you make! Each pattern post will include a specific pattern link to Ravelry so you can add your own project. Rhondda has put together a great tutorial on how to add projects to Ravelry, which you can find here.
We would also love to see your projects on Instagram! Tag us on Instagram at @thestitchinmommy and/or @oombawkadesigncrochet and use the hashtag #WashclothCAL to share your progress with us!
